Hi All!
Yes I know that sub has told us that Avi is no big question but I'm just fishing for some information.

I recently replaced my HTPC and when I did that I reinstalled everything and now looking at xvid, divx encoded Avi doesn't look great using GBPVR.

So I mostly use the VLC to see avi.

I understand that GBPVR is dependent of some codec, but which codec gives the best picture? Any hints?

Having a plug-in that gives me the power of using VLC from inside GBPVR, well that would be something
(Unfortunately I’m a lousy programmer so I can’t do that myself )

I searched a little and could only find tuning and EPG posts.

How would you do about editing the channels? I've always had a problem where two channels are showing up as 81, even though zap2it has them as 81 and 82. I tried just editing the name, but it still sees 82 where 81 is.

I also had a channel rename, pushing a 38 to the bottom (it's an 80 or 110 in the index). I'd like to move that up where the dead one is/was (A&E was ARTS and became AETV in zap2it...same channel/#, different data)

I had A&E just stop getting added to the DB. Re-updated EPG, 2x checked in CP, and at zap2it.

Anyone else just have a channel go missing, as in it stopped getting shows for it (I can find some yesterday)

Zap2it listings have been working fine and I can get more than a week of listings, but it seems like the networks will change their schedule and my schedule in GBPVR isn't updated.

For example, it was a 2 hour special of the Amazing Race and I only had 1 hour in the TV Listings. I missed the 2nd hour completely.

Anybody have an idea of how to deal with this? Should I set the number of days to keep shorter?

Thanks,

Any recommendations on a inexpensive wireless mouse and keyboard? Something with good range 10 - 15'?

The computer is in the garage but I have USB running into the entertainment center.

Okay, I've been doing a bit of playing around with the MusicAlbums2 plugin, to get an understanding of how this stuff works. And having reasonable success. But I can't seem to get any log information out of the beast. Is there something fundamental that I need to know?

I have a bunch of Logger.Verbose calls; everything compiles fine, and I've tried setting the logging level to both Error and Verbose. But I can't find any sign of any of the logs in any files in the gbpvr directory tree.

Btw; when using SharpDevelop, is there any way to debug a plugin, other than using the log information? For instance, is there any way to actually set up breakpoints and do real source code debugging?

Any pointers would be appreciated. I didn't notice anything in the tutorial, and didn't have any luck searching for any related info on the forum.

I'm running latest GB-PVR version using a PVR-150 with XP pro and a few MVP's. I believe I'm running the driver that came with the 150 (2.0.30.23083). Hauppauge has posted updated driver (2.2.23257) and shspvr.com posts (2.0.35.23297). Various forum postings mention success and problems with each. I was hoping that updating the driver would fix an occassional time stamp problem, but I don't want to replace a minor problem with something worse. Any recommendations on which driver to use would be appreciated. Thanks.

EDIT: I've pulled the download for this. If you use 0.95.11 or later the 'Complete EPG reload' option on the Capture Sources page in Config will have the same effect.

If you want to continue to use an older version of GB-PVR and would like a copy of CleanEPG then PM me. Original message below...


NOTE - For XMLTV users ONLY

I had a few responses to the first version and some feedback (mostly along the lines that it didn't work :o ). Hey! It worked fine for me but what can I say? Anyway, I'm still looking for testers (it's a new version).

What it does...

Checks Pending recordings in the GB-PVR database against XMLTV file sources and deletes them from the database if they don't match.

By default this runs in 'logging-only' mode. It won't delete from the database but you can check the CleanEPG.log file to make sure you agree with what would be deleted.

To use...

[INDENT]Unzip all files to your GB-PVR install folder

Open a command prompt, change directory to the GB-PVR folder and run...

CleanEPG

Check the logfile to see if you agree with what it thinks are invalid pending recordings
[/INDENT]
To delete the invalid pending recordings use...

CleanEPG -clean

You can also use -usestoptime to make it check that the end times of the pending recording are correct.

If you want to test it, use it WITHOUT the -clean switch first. If things don't look right then zip your CleanEPG.log file and your XMLTV file and email them to me.

Cheers,
Brian

Hi,

First of all, I would like to say that this product is amazing although I have already spent way too many hours configuring and messing with it

Now my problem, the first time after starting GBPVR that I press the guide button while watching Live TV, I see the following error:

Error: Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: "209" Key being added: "209"

I am attaching my log file in case it sheds any light.

If anyone can help it would be appreciated.

Thanks.
